I had a 0.33l bottle of this at Olivier in Utrecht on 25SEP16; cost was €5.70.

Poured very clear, with a medium-golden color and steady, fine carbo. Had a 1" fluffy, marshmallow-white head which ebbed slowly with nice lacing. Nose was somewhat crackery with a little lemon zest and mild, subtle spiciness. Had a solid medium body and minimal prickle.

Was crackery and dry on the palate. Was a touch fruity, with some green apple and pear present, and a hint of sourish astringency in the chalky, dry finish. Mostly an "nbd" bier.... Cheers!

L - Hazy golden colour with a big white head That stats 3 to 4 minutes in my Chouffe tulip
S - Biscuits and flowers
T - quite refreshing with faint flowery hops that linger, booze and malt come after
F - quite enjoyable warming feeling in those cold days. The carbonation is fine
O - quite enjoyable belgian strong pale ale. I wouldn't say that it is an ipa per say, it's more of a thing between a strong pale ale and a saison

I must have had an awful bottle. It's Nov 2015 and best before Oct 2017. Bottle hissed when opened but poured with zero head. Almost no carbonation. The feel and taste were off because of it. Just tasted like flat strong Belgian home brew. Maybe it was at the end of the CO2 tank,thought it'd be bottle conditioned but no yeast... I'll update my review when I try my next bottle...

Hazy, supper effervescent, huge headed brew....this beer is an engaging, but not spectacular, strong Belgian. The smell is muted, with herbs and some yeast notes. There is a solid bitterness, and it is a relatively dry beer. Drinkable and good, but neither interesting nor outstanding.

Appearance: Lots of smoke upon opening. Absolutely crystal clear with a big, golden, perfectly white head. Small bubbles make up the fast moving carbonation. Beer became cloudy when yeast was added to the last third of the glass.

Aroma: Very strong, spicey Belgian yeast esters. Very nice aroma.
Taste: As with the aroma the yeast is the dominant feature here. Not completely dissimilar to the brewery’s other Belgian Strong Pale Ale – Delirium Tremens. Delirium Tremens is more hoppy though, whereas this is a yeast bomb! Also reminds me of another Belgian classic - La Chouffe. Just when I thought this beer couldn't get any 'yeastier' I poured the last bit of the bottle into the remaining 1/3 of the beer and wow it's strong. It coats your mouth and can be tasted for a long time in the finish. I do like it though.
Mouth feel: Carbonation is prickly, dry finish.
Overall: A very enjoyable and easy to drink 8.5% brew. As previously stated, the most dominant feature of this beer is the Belgian yeast which might not be to everybody's taste but I really like it. 8.25 / 10

From bottle, Pours a clear golden color with a large foamy white head. Aroma of citrus, spices, brown sugar, yeast, hay, malt. Taste is pretty much the same, very smooth the alcohol is very well hidden.

La Guillotine appears to be a carbonated golden ale with an appropriate billowy head of white foam. With lots of fruit esters, Belgian yeast, spices, a honeyed aspect, and a bready mouthfeel, it's a delicious Pale. My only criticisms are that it might be a tad too sweet and that it's not terribly unique.

Pours a hazy honey orange with a foamy off-white head that settles to a partial film on top of the beer. Foamy patches of lace form around the glass on the drink down. Smell is of grain, honey, fruit, spice, and yeast aromas. Taste is much the same with honey, fruit, spice, and yeast flavors on the finish. There is a mild amount of spice bitterness on the palate with each sip. This beer has a good level of carbonation with a crisp mouthfeel. Overall, this is a pretty good beer with great aromas, but unfortunately the flavors just aren't quite as good to me.

Fruit and malt on the nose. Pours brilliant orange tinted amber with a vigorous, long lasting, 3” white rocky foam cap. A fruity palate starts with orange, peach, and a hint of banana, spice, light caramel, a touch of bread, pepper and a light bitterness on the finish. Medium body and medium high carbonation. A delight to drink.

- Golden brown very nice head retention
-smell of fresh bread or pleasant warm smooth
-smooth, with a slight citrus lingering,
- more bubbly than i prefer, with a pleasant warmth to it.
- very refreshing and drinkable overall

The aroma is pleasantly juicy with orange and lime backed by sweet vanilla and some waxy graininess. It pours a large, soapy, eggshell-white head and a clear, light gold body. The flavor is tart, spicy, and bitter, as well as slightly boozy and grainy sweet with only a hint of fruitiness. It's highly carbonated, frothy, and crisp.

The aroma is more pleasantly expressive than the flavor, while the flavor seems to be dominated by the spicy and bitter qualities with some grainy sweetness in support and fruity esters only on a very low level.

Appearance – Pours a clear golden color with a very thick head that sticks around a long time and sticks to the glass. A strong amount of carbonation is visible. Lots of sediment at the end of the pour.

Smell – Yeast, a funky spice, and a touch of cider with lemon. Malt becomes noticeable as the head dissipates.

Pours an orange color with a 1/2" head that lasts a while. Belgian yeast is strong in the aroma. Caramel, belgian yeast, citrus, and a moderate bitterness are the main flavors. Aftertaste is long. Mildly refreshing, and quite easy to drink.

A loud pop when I pulled the cork out, it pours a medium gold with a 2 finger head of foam that seems to keep on growing...well above the lip of my glass.

The smell is of citrus hops, some spice..err...peppery notes, a real dank kind of smell that you get from some well made IPAs.

It's pretty hoppy from the get go but I DO get a smidgeon of sweetness deep beneath that biter flavour and there is a nice peppery sort of spiciness going on. The citrus, malt, yeast, and pepper are doing a good job of satisfying my palate and the alcohol is there but not invasive.

Medium bodied for the most part; it thins out a tad in the finish.

I had never heard of this brew but it's very enjoyable and easy drinking and dry enough to make it "thirst quenching", if there's such a thing with beer. :^)
